Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon
sounds like a killer combo, im looking at the Bullsye unit with there new "BatMowheel" design, 83mm comp 87mm turbine T6 1.10a/r its all ideas right now but will just have to wait and see, Very keen to see how you go with the new turbo and E85, i went from 584rwhp to 625rwhp with pump E85 on the same boost 11psi

Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon
Saw this running last night. Absolute weapon of a car. Not sure if you saw myself or my old man? Orange Monaro and Red VX SS you pulled up behind when you changed your wheels.
Love the fact you drive it to and from the track! A true street car.
Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon
She really winds up after 1/2 track. Well done mate
Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon

Can't wait to see how this goes after the changes. Where did you get the e85 from as that is a damn good price! :D
Re: my turbo 408 stroker vx berlina wagon
That is one killer wagon!! I really regret selling my VX Berlina wagon, was the ultimate sleeper!
